FF: Results Week 7

Week 7 results are in.

USC(1.1) 98
Snap(7.7) 74
Even with a respectable showing, Snap It was unable to beat the sole owner of first place. USC is tough and is predicted by FoxSports to win out.

Spies(5.5) 103
Smash(5.6) 96
This was a close game as was predicted by their rankings. The Spies edged out SmashPanic led by the "probable" Curtis Martin (29 points).

PADS(1.2) 86
Kato(7.9) 90
This game was closer than predicted as KatoBack won her third game (much to the ire of those teams down in the lower ranks). PADS was knocked down into a tie for second place.

POW(10) 0
XII(7.8) 102
Blah Blah Blah

Expo(3.3) 124
Drago(3.4) 64
The Game of the Week turned out to be a blowout. Expo moved herself to second place showing that she is for real. Dragon Run's team just fell apart.

10   POW    0-7-0  0.00   L7

Smash(6.6) vs USC(1)
This could go either way but the edge has to be given to USC since he is nearly unbeatable (with one notable exception).

Kato(6.8) vs Snap(9)
Somehow Kato is looking pretty strong. Snap It needs a win here to try and push ahead of Kato to get to the playoffs.

Spies(4.4) vs POW(10)
Spies Win!!! Oh, I guess I should wait until they play.

PADS(2.3) vs Expo(2.2) (GOTW)
One of these teams will take sole possession of second place. Expo is on a role but PADS is still strong.

XII(6.7) vs Drago(4.5)
A win by Xillers II would bring him into a tie with DragonRun. A win by DragonRun would put him into third place.

Good luck

FF: Results Week 6

Week six is finished.

USC(1.1) 112
Spies(3.3) 103
Game of the week 1: This was a close match-up as the number 1 USC fended off the Spies. Both teams had injured running backs. The Spies could have won if she would have started either her backup QB or backup TE. But I guess that's what makes this interesting.


Snap(6.7) 60
PADS(1.2) 113
Game of the week 2: This was expected to be close because of the abysmal games that these teams had last week. Well, PADS recovered in time to blow out Snap It (whose leading RB was injured).

Smash(6.6) 112
XII(6.8) 66
In a game to separate the playoff contenders from the playoff imaginers, SmashPanic came through. It would have been even more sad if James (RB) for Xillers II hadn't scored 33 (equaling the rest of his team).


Kato(6.9) 59
Drago(3.5) 96
With Kato's owner out of the country, she played with a RB on bye. It wouldn't have mattered anyway as DragonRun put up solid numbers.

Expo(3.4) 140
POW(10) 0
Expo got her free one.

Rank Team   Record Points Streak
1.1  USC    5-1-0  609.00 W2

10   POW    0-6-0  0.00   L6

USC(1.1) vs Snap(7.7)
Down a running back and coming off of two bad weeks, Snap It is not very confident going into this game. But maybe that's his strategy...

Spies(5.5) vs Smash(5.6)
These two middle teams will battle to stay in good playoff position. The loser will still be very much in it though.

PADS(1.2) vs Kato(7.9)
If past performance indicates future performance PADS should have a good shot at this game.

POW(10) vs XII(7.8)
Finally, Xillers II gets his bye week.

Expo(3.3) vs Drago(3.4) (GOTW)
This will be a battle for sole possession of the number three spot.

Good luck to all.

FF: Results Week 5

The scores for week 5 are in. I'm on the road so it has taken me a little longer to get to this.

PADS(1) 72
USC(2.2) 94
The game of the week. PADS went into this game in sole control of the top spot and looked like he was going to keep it. But USC having just fallen from that spot played strong. Actually, both teams had down weeks but for USC a down week is scoring in the 90's. PADS just didn't have a good week which was exemplified by Manning only scoring 12 points and so the last undefeated team faltered.

XII(8.9) 124
Spies(2.3) 114
Out of no where Xillers II took the high score for the week to turn a fluke win into a winning streak. This was an unfortunate event for the Spies. She tied for the second highest score in the league this week but took home her second loss.

Drago(4.7) 89
Snap(4.4) 71
After a hard stretch of schedule (USC & PADS), DragonRun finally got a win. Snap It just had a low week and that drops them into the big tie for sixth place.

Smash(4.5) 103
Expo(4.6) 114
Expo was the other team to tie for the second highest score and she needed it. This game between number fours was great. SmashPanic had two quarterbacks score 30 points (he could only play one but it was worth noting) and he scored over 100 points but it was not enough. As an aside, the four top scorers played each other this week. This was unfortunate for SmashPanic and the Spies.

POW (10) 0
Kato(8.8) 77
Yeah, no one who can read cared about this game.

Rank Team   Record  Points  Streak
1.1  USC    4-1-0   499.00  W1
1.2  PADS   4-1-0   489.00  L1
3.3  Spies  3-2-0   512.00  L1

USC(1.1) vs Spies(3.3) (GOTW)
USC will face the Spies after just retaking the top place. Both teams have recently suffered embarrassing losses to the near last place Xillers II. I don't know how that will affect this game but it's hard to not see all the games through the lens of my team.

Snap(6.7) vs PADS(1.2) (GOTW2)
This should be an interesting game. Even though PADS has been dominant in most of his games, last week was a very poor week. Snap It also had a poor week. It looks like the team that can turn it around first will win this week.

Smash(6.6) vs XII(6.8)
SmashPanic has just dropped to number 6 and Xillers II are excited to have reached the same rank. This will split them in the rankings.

Kato(6.9) vs Drago(3.5)
DragonRun looks to increase his streak to two wins.

Expo(3.4) vs POW(10)
I'm rooting for Expo.

Good luck.

FF: Results Week 4

Week 4 is finished and the results are in.

XII(9.9) 92
USC(1.1) 81

In the biggest upset of the year, undefeated USC lost to the completely defeated Xillers II. Both teams made some last day changes to their line-ups. Some think that USC was being nice and letting XII win. Some think it was just luck that XII had its best game when USC had its worst. And some think that the kicker Rackers (23 pts) is amazing.

This game knocks the powerhouse USC into second place and moves Xillers II out of the tie with the starter-less team.

PADS(1.2) 122
Drago(3.5) 73

PADS took sole position of first place with this solid win. DragonRun put up his lowest point total against PADS who had his highest score this year.

PADS had multiple strong players while DragonRun players mostly had a very average week.

Spies(3.3) 103
Expo(3.4) 70
(GOTW)

The Game of the Week turned out to not be so exciting. With her consistent players, the Spies led by 34 points going into Monday and Expo only had one player left, Smith (WR). He had earned 35 points the week before but was held to only 1 this week.

This moves the Spies into a tie for second place.

Snap It(6.6) 108
POW(9.10) 0

Snap It had an excellent week. Unfortunately, it was against POW.

KatoBack(6.8) 92
SmashPanic(6.7) 125

Even with Favre's 37 points, Kato succumbed to SmashPanic's week leading 125 points to drop her into a tie for 8th place. Led by Burress(WR, 32 pts) SmashPanic had a good game by nearly all of his players. He is now in the big tie for 4th.

Rank  Team  Record Points Streak
1     PADS  4-0-0  415.00 W4
2.2   USC   3-1-0  405.00 L1
2.3   Spies 3-1-0  401.00 W3

Next Week:

PADS(1) vs USC(2.2) (GOTW)
The number one versus the number 2. USC is coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the Hawkeyes... I mean to Xillers II (I can dream, can't I?). Can they come back and challenge the powerful PADS.

XII(8.9) vs Spies(2.3)
In what sounds like the name of a bad video game, the Spies take on Xillers II. The Spies have become very strong after their week one loss but Xillers II is coming off of a big win.

Drago(4.7) vs Snap(4.4)
Both of these teams are capable of big numbers (and both are capable of average numbers. This could be a very good game.

Smash(4.5) vs Expo(4.6)
The other fourth place tie breaker game pits SmashPanic (who had the high score last week) against Expo (who had the low score last week). Can Expo turn it around?

POW (10) vs Kato(8.8)
Yeah, Kato is going to win.

Well, that's it for this week. Remember to put your vote in on the POW issue.
